I'm considering adding a Starfire (probably the IV model) to the pile here and am looking for some input.
1. How similar in sound is a Starfire to an ES-335?
2. Some people describe the 335 as a "one trick pony", although I did not necessarily find that to be the case years ago when I owned a 335 - is a Starfire sonically more flexible than an ES-335 ?
3. Were there any "bad years" in the Starfire production to avoid? How were the DeArmond model years for build quality?
4. I'd be interested in any other general opinions or advice on the Starfire model.
5. Anyone out there offering one for sale at this time?
TIA!!
